Another lovely night in Nico & Nicholas's beautiful home. Comfy bed & close to both the city centre & Musselburgh (where I am studying).

TimNovember 2016

That was an amazing experience to stay at Nico&Niko's place! I fell in love with the house and was a bit upset that I decided to spend there just 3 days. I did feel like home away from home. I would love to visit Edinburgh again and stay at this beautiful house at least 1 week. Everything was according to the description. Nico&Niko are super friendly and nice. Thank you guys for hosting me!

SvetlanaJune 2016

The location is easy to access and has ample, free parking on the street outside. The hosts are friendly and accommodating too. the Flt is an easy ride in on the bus to the centre of Edinburgh and the shows at the Fringe.

NicholasAugust 2016

I stayed with Nico & Niko for 5 nights whilst working in Edinburgh, this was my first Airbnb experience and I am happy I chose their lovely flat. I was made feel very welcome and at home from the moment I arrived! They are two of the nicest people you could meet and their place is very cosy and clean. I will definitely be back to stay!

Danny April 2016

Nico and Niko have a great place a couple minutes walk from the Portobello high Street. My hosts were very helpful and friendly, and the room was clean and quiet. It's a 20 minute drive to the tourist sites in Edinburgh.

philippeJuly 2016

This is a cute, clean and comfortable cottage, and Tana is a delightful and helpful host who went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. The cottage is perfect for families with children (or grandchildren, like us), since Tana and Simon have two young children of their own, and the house is not just child-proof, but child-happy! The children's bedroom has bunkbeds and a spacious play area, with lots and lots of toys and games. Outside there is a little playhouse and a trampoline. The other two bedrooms are also large and comfortable. The house is in a cute little village called Portobello, an easy 20-minute bus ride to the center of Edinburgh. It is just a few blocks from the beach, and a nice promenade there with several delightful cafes and pubs (the Espy!) along the waterfront. The house is just off the village's High Street, with shops and groceries within a few minutes walk. Tana was SO friendly and helpful, from the very earliest email exchanges until after we arrived. She provided us with a stroller (for the littlest one) to borrow while we were there, and even lent us some clothes for the children when the weather was a little chillier than we expected. There was a welcoming bottle of wine, tea and shortbread for us when we arrived. Tana kept in touch with us by email after we had settled in, just to make sure that everything was ok. The whole experience was delightful: a wonderful introduction for our visit to Scotland. Thank you so much, Tana and Simon, for sharing your house with us! The whole experience was a

Tana thoughtfully left us a card, biscuits and wine as a welcome, which was a lovely gesture and the information about the house and local area provided was invaluable.

PatriciaJuly 2016

Great place in a great location. Super cool dècor and functional home. Great value too and a great welcome pack made us feel very welcome.

ElleJuly 2015

We had a great stay in Portobello in Tana's lovely cottage. It was perfect for our family with lots of room and a close bus service to town. Tana had left us a bottle of wine and biscuits to welcome us which we appreciated. We would definitely return here and spend longer exploring another time.

NatalieJuly 2015

The house was amazing . We had a really lovely holiday in Tanas home. It was clean and had everything we could possibly have needed. The house is big and airy feeling. The children loved having new toys to play with! Location wise it was perfect - a stone's throw from high street and a very short walk to beach. The neighbourhood was very quiet and lovely neighbours.

DuncanJuly 2015

It is a nice and cosy cottage with good location. And It is easy to find out . There are many restaurants in the street. And it only takes 5 min. walk to the beach. The owners are friendly and considerate. Our family enjoyed very much. Thanks Tana.

滟July 2016

This was the perfect place for our group to stay during our vacation to Scotland. The home had plenty of room, all the necessary amenities, easy access to the city center by bus or taxi, and a quick walk to the beach. Tana and her family were traveling while we visited, but she had a helpful household guide for al questions. I would certainly stay at Tana's house again!

This is a welcoming, Georgian apartment just five minutes walk from the beach. Travel into Edinburgh city centre is fast and easy and Portobello has a buzzing food/drink scene and plenty of activities. The apartment is being redecorated so some photos will be out of date.

This is a beautiful, quiet space located five minutes walk from the beach and the local high street. The apartment is the entire lower floor of a detached Georgian house which benefits from use of the original walled garden.
There are two bedrooms; one double and one twin. Also a kitchen, living room and bathroom with a bath and a shower. The space is suitable for couples and families. Young children and infants are welcome, please let us know when you book if you would like a high chair and travel cot to be provided.
The apartment has recently been redecorated and refurnished. It is cosy, bright and is a wonderful retreat after a long day!
The apartment is accessed through a side gate to the right as you look at the property. A path takes you to the rear of the building where you will see the main door to the apartment on the lower ground floor. Guests benefit from access to the garden (if you're brave enough to face the Scottish weather!) which is shared with the owners.
I can be contacted either through Airbnb or directly via text or email, and will endeavor to respond quickly to any queries you might have.

Portobello is a gorgeous suburb of Edinburgh that boasts the city's only beach. There is a buzzing high street with local amenities including a supermarket, off licence, cafes, restaurants, bars, shops and a post office. the beach itself is large, clean and sandy with beautiful views north of the Forth Estuary. Boats, kayaks and boards can be hired locally if you care to brave the water! For guests travelling with children there is also a large soft-play, a gaming arcade and a play park all within a few minutes walk of the apartment.
Getting to Edinburgh city centre is fast, cheap and easy. There are local buses which leave regularly from Portobello High Street and taxis can be booked easily. There will be information in the apartment detailing travel routes and options but please feel free to ask me if you need more information.
If you plan to drive here please note that parking can be limited. There is free on street parking outside the apartment but it is often busy so there may be a requirement to park further along the street.

A lovely wee flat under the owners. Great access to beach and lots of cafes. Quick hop on bus into town. Thank you :)

What a perfect weekend we had. I couldn't of booked a better place . fantastic location, perfectly clean, beautiful smelling bedding. very homely. will defo be booking again xxx

We had a really great time at Jonna's apartment. The location is ideal, right in the middle of Portobello, and a stone's throw from the beach. The house is cosy and charming, exactly as we expected it. The decor is fresh and tasteful throughout, and the kitchen has absolutely everything you will ever need! We also enjoyed the beautiful walled garden. Jonna was very helpful in accomodating our needs and gave us a warm welcome when we arrived.

LambertoAugust 2016

Great flat, brilliant easy location for getting into centre..bus is about 10-15 minute journey..quiet location on a lovely street.

KatieOctober 2016

The photos of the apartment very accurately represented our stay (the apartment was even better than the photos!) Jonna was very accommodating as we arrived late in the evening, and was lovely when we met her the next day. The apartment perfectly suited our needs and the location is brilliant. 2 minute walk from the beach and 2 minutes the other way to the bus stop to get into town. Portobello is beautiful and has lovely food and drink stops, we particularly enjoyed Butternut Squash on the next street for breakfast (the poached eggs are to die for!) Jonna was very communicative from booking to arriving - I would highly recommend this apartment, we'll be back for sure! Thanks Jonna and family for a brilliant stay :-)

JessAugust 2016

It was all as expected, we had a nice stay at jonnas place!

SusanSeptember 2016

This was our first Airbnb experience and we absolutely loved it. The apartment exceeded our expectations. It was clean, tidy and very cosy. The area of Portobello is a lovely area just outside of the city of Edinburgh. The apartment has easy access to the city via a regular bus service which costs £1.60p to the city centre and only takes about 20mins. Our host, Jonna, gave us a warm welcome and made checking in very easy and gave us her mobile number if we had any problems during our stay. The whole experience was easy and stress free and I would highly recommend this apartment for anyone planning a visit to Edinburgh. Thank you for sharing your lovely apartment with us. Many thanks, Kevin, Jamie, Mary and Nigel.

Our place is close to Portobello Beach and only 15-20 min to city centre.You’ll love our house because of log fires in the winter and relaxing in the hot tub during the summer. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and families (with kids).
We live in a large detached Victorian house in a very quiet street. We are offering a bright, clean room in our 5 bedroom home with a private bathroom (bath and shower).

Our family home is quite large, spread over 3 floors which means you can have your own space or equally as easy join in as part of the family home.
You will have an access to your own bathroom (possibly shared with second guest room at busy times), the kitchen and of course the large detached garden with hot tub which is perfect to relax in after a long day of sightseeing.
My husband has been living in Edinburgh all his life, his tremendous knowledge of the city would be very helpful to anyone visiting the city for the first time.

We are located in Portobello which is Edinburgh's seaside but the area has a real sense of it's own community.
The house is just a few min walk to the beach and the promenade with plenty of shops on the way.
The bus stop is only a couple of minutes away with bus leaving every 5 minutes to the city and a direct bus to Murrayfield stadium.
We have a 3 year old boy and a young chocolate labrador. Both very friendly!

Absolutely lovely place and incredibly helpful hosts. The house is huge (three floors!) with plenty of peace and quiet, a brilliant pub down the road, and a gorgeous running route along the seaside. Getting into the centre is easy - about 20 minutes on a bus, £10-15 in an uber, or just under an hour on foot. We'll be back next year!

GwynAugust 2016

Suzanna and Derek were fantastic hosts. We instantly felt right at home. From the fresh croissants and barrista style coffees at breakfast to sharing a bottle of wine of an evening, they couldn't do enough for us. The bed was very comfy and the room had plenty of storage with a handy dressing table. Bosco the chocolate lab wouldn't come home with us, much to our dismay, because he's the friendliest dog we've ever come across. The 26 bus into Edinburgh city centre is so regular and frequent that the longest wait we had in either direction was 13 minutes. Runners - Portobello Parkrun is a 5 minute walk away! A lovely long weekend - we'll be back!

AndreaAugust 2016

We had a fantastic stay with Suzanne, Derrick and Bosco. This lovely family makes it more like a home than just a B&B. The property locates 10 mins away from the beach by foot, 20 mins to Old Town by bus and the bed is probably the most comfy one I have ever had, which is just perfect after a long day walk in the rain!

PeichiNovember 2016

The house is located in a beautiful area and it is very easy to get a bus to the centre of Edinburgh. The room was clean, comfortable and warm and the bed is ridiculously comfortable! Suzanna and her family were lovely hosts, they were very accommodating to our unusual check in and check out times, which was very much appreciated.

MillyNovember 2016

Suzanne and Derrick and Harry and Bosco were wonderful to stay with. They are very warm and personable.We felt immediately welcome and part of the family! Portobello is a lovely area of Edinburgh, with safe, family oriented neighborhoods. We really enjoyed our time, it flew by! Would love to return in the future, they have become friends to us.

This property is very handy to public transport into the city. It is also in a quiet location and off street parking is available. The room is clean and tidy, presented like in the photos. You need to like pets if staying here because there is a very friendly dog in residence.

Stunning Victorian period converted school, now a modern duplex apartment.

Thank you for the apartment and your guidance in Inverness, we were taking my brother around Scotland during his visit to UK for the first time which he enjoyed a lot.

This is a lovely apartment, clean, modern inside and well equipped. Very cosy. A bit out of the centre of Edinburgh which didn't bother us because we had a car and I believe there is bus access nearby. There are restaurants and pubs in easy walking distance. Shaiz was very thoughtful and was out buying hand soap, shampoo and a replacement globe when we arrived. His wife was there to meet us so check in was easy.

Two bedrooms so can accommodate family's and groups.
We will try to accommodate whatever our guests want.
They only have to ask.
We have a residential registered tour guide, who can offer an abundance of information, arrange tickets and can give private tours.

Portobello is steeped in history. Charm of a small village.
Beautiful beach. Many lovely parks. Yet easily accessible to city centre. So there is only a 20 mins one can have the buzz of the city or tranquility of parks and seaside.
I think Portobello has the best of all worlds.
The number 26 bus departs from Portobello every 6 minutes to the city centre. This takes about 20 minutes. There are other buses such as the 42, 15, 45, 49 and the X26 which all go to the city centre.
There are frequent buses to Fort Kinnaird outdoor shopping centre which has lots of shops and restaurants and the Odeon Cinema.
The bus costs £1.50 (single fare) or £3.50 for a day ticket (as many journeys as you like in a single day). The driver's do not give change so it is best to have the correct amount.
All buses depart from and arrive at Portobello High Street (a 3 min walk away.)
From Princes Street, you can get a 26 bus to opposite the Portobello Town Hall and walk 3 minutes to the property. Alternatively, a taxi from the city centre, costs about £10. We are able to provide details for discounted taxi services.

If you come by plane, you can get the Airlink bus from the airport to the city centre (just opposite the train station) and walk to the side of Jenner's on Princes St to get a 26 bus. (4 minute walk). You could also take a taxi from here to Portobello.
There is a tram service (£5) from the Airport to York Place, where it will terminate. If you cross to the left, you will see the bus stop for the 26 to Tranent/Seton Sands/Port Seton. These will all take you to Portobello Town Hall
If you come by car, there is free parking on our street, and it's normally possible to find a space.
Clients can have a blow up bed in their room to accommodate children at a small extra charge.

We had a fabulous stay with Deborah and her family in Portobello near Edinburgh. Easy to find on satnav and good on street free parking. A warm welcome on arrival and "make yourself at home" hospitality. Our bedroom was large, light and comfortable. Facilities to make a hot drink in the room plus a few chocolate treats were a nice touch. Deborah made every effort to make sure we were comfortable and had all we needed. Bathroom was downstairs near kitchen, and we shared this with family. The house itself is lovely with beautiful backyard area. We had the good fortune to meet all the family and have lively discussions, lots of laughter and even share a meal. Thank you for your touring suggestions and your warm hospitality. We highly recommend a stay with this family.

Deborah's house, family, and room were amazing! We used Deborah's house as a base while visiting Edinburgh. It's a short bus ride away from the city. The bedroom was amazing, with a bed comfier than you'll find in any hotel. The toilet and shower was located just downstairs in a very convenient spot that was really easy to get to from the room. Any interactions we had with the family was great, and we even got a wonderful tour from her son to start off our stay. I can easily say that our stay exceeded expectations.

AaronJuly 2016

It was the first time that we two friends had chosen a BnB and the experience wasn’t really great.. We weren’t happy with either the ‘Bed' or the ‘Breakfast'.. The room was ‘just’ decent while the bed was not too comfortable. The bathroom was downstairs which we didn’t mind but the flush didn’t work the first time and the shower cabin clogged all the water every time we used it. This was pretty bad and it was extremely disappointing to hear the answer from the host on complaining about this and thus we had to think twice before actually using it.. For breakfast, we had no clue on what to use from the kitchen. Our understanding was that the breakfast will be served to us but we weren’t served anything and hence we ended up buying stuff from outside and preparing it ourselves. Also the sea is not really by the house. It is a 5 min walk from the house. We were absolutely ok with this but the description on Airbnb said that the house is just by the sea which is not the case. Overall it was not a pleasant experience!

Great location, close to restaurants, supermarket and bus stop. Deborah was very helpful with info on Edinburgh. Comfy bed too. Edinburgh is a fantastic city.

Very pleasant accommodations. We never actually met the host or her husband, but their son was very nice. Close to the beach and a £8-£10 uber to downtown's royal mile. Within walking distance to nice restaurants and a few pubs. Would stay here again.

Deborah made us feel very welcome during our short stay at her beautiful home. She was very hospitable - though we had problems with the wi-fi at first, her son went out of the way to help us which was greatly appreciated.

Traditional Edinburgh tenement with a modern twist. Within walking distance of Portobello beach and well connected to major city attractions.

Located within walking distance of Edinburgh's shore, this traditional 1st floor tenement building has excellent transport links to all of Edinburgh's major attractions.
The apartment contains a large double bedroom with ceiling-high windows, original lighting by a local designer, large wardrobe and dresser. A separate toilet and shower room are located in the hallway.
The bright kitchen / living room area sits four people. For those thinking of bringing a guest to sleep on the sofa - I wouldn't really recommend it! It's much better for sitting on that sleeping on.
Kitchen contains microwave, electric cooker, dishwasher, washing machine, kettle and toaster. A HD TV/DVD player is also provided in the living room.
From the apartment, you can easily take a bus into the city centre, towards Edinburgh Zoo, Murrayfield, Rosslyn Chapel, Ocean Terminal, Leith, Prestonpans, Musselburgh, Arthur's Seat, Duddingston Village, the Pentland Hills, Dalkeith and many other locations of interest!
Locally, you can find wonderful cafés and bars serving locally sourced and artisanal food such as The Beach House on the promenade. The high street is full of charming small businesses including the vintage store Martha's Attic, and the Cove, which sells gifts, homeware and artworks by local creatives.
Along the beach you will also find a restored Victorian bath house with two pools, gym and turkish bath.
You will be sent an information pack prior to your stay with full information on how to enter the apartment. Please note that there is free parking in the local area, however as Portobello is a highly popular area with visitors, it can be tricky to find a parking space in the same street as the apartment.
I'm always available by phone or by email. If I'm not around to assist you, then a member of my family will be on hand to help you out!

The apartment is well connected to many bus routes which can be found on the Lothian Buses website. The latest bus timetables are provided in the apartment to help you with getting around town!

Have just returned from Edinburgh and had amazing time - Calum's apartment was just as described and everything we needed! It was spotlessly clean and a perfect location for our trip! It's ideally located right by the shops, 5 mins walk from the beautiful beach and 15 mins bus ride into centre of Edinburgh with bus stop 2 mins walk away! Night life not amazing in Portobello but that wasn't important to us and we did visit in the week but city so close (with night buses) it doesn't matter! Would thoroughly recommend this apartment! Communication with Calum was ideal - he let me know everything I needed to know about getting to and into apartment and felt good knowing I could contact him if needed too ... which we didn't! Going go tell all my friends to stay here!!

We had a good experience at this nice and cozy flat. Located in the vicinity of 1) a bus stop, 2) beautiful portobello beach and 3) a proper supermarket. However, if you're looking for an apartment where someone actually lives every now and then, this is not the place.

I stayed a few days at Calum's lovely apartment with my mum. We immediately felt welcome when we got in, it was cold outside so it was so nice to walk into a nice and warm apartment. The apartment was really tidy and looked very nice. The contact with Calum was very good, he told us everything we needed to know. I would love to come back some time :)

Thanks Calum - had a great 5 days in Edinburgh. The apartment was perfect for our needs and as described. We loved the classy little extra touches round the place. We had a problem with the heating on our second evening but Calum replied to our email distress call very quickly and we were sorted. The convenience of the bus service into town from Portobello and the supermarket behind us were brilliant. As were the lovely walks along Portobello beach. The apartment was very clean and the bed comfy. Thoroughly recommend it to anybody!

Nice place to get away and relax. Your window looks out on the sea. Located in the small village of Portobello, with quirky shops and 3 trendy restaurants. Even so you are just a short walk and a quick 25 minute bus ride from central Edinburgh.

There is parking available alongside of property. A walk on the beach in the morning is good for the soul.
Shared bathroom and kitchen facilities.
Happy to share any information to help you enjoy your stay in Scotland's beautiful capital city. Owner will be in flat during your stay.

Portobello is a great juxtaposition to staying in Central Edinburgh. It is a quite seaside town with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Live music in one or another spot all weekend.
Public transportation to town and any number of locations is just a short walk away. Buses to town come by every 8 minutes during peak travel times. Airport transportation is quick and inexpensive by public transport. Trip is also very affordable by taxi, with fixed rate available.
Owner is a non smoking non drinking vegan. Into meditation and yoga.

really nice and valuable.

Julia was very lovely lady! She helped us in so many ways. If it won't her, I wouldn't be able to travel at all! Thank you so much for the jacket and everything. And sorry for rushing in and rushing out. The house is located at very nice place.

Julia was a lovely host! She was amiable, so helpful, and over-all a joy to stay with.

LisaJune 2016

Julia is a very nice person and very attentive, and the room has what it takes to stay

SERGIOJuly 2016

The property has a fantastic view and is well connected to the city. Julia was a kind and helpful host, our stay was pleasant.

MihirJune 2016

I stayed in Juilia's Little place by the Sea for 4 night. Though I was very busy and did not have chance to know Julia better, I found her very hospitable, friendly, caring and positive person. Julia was contacting me on my way to her place, making sure I didn't get lost. She shared her little place in kitchen with kindness and serenity and when I lost the key, she just smiled back. I couldn't feel more at home then when I stayed with Jilia. The place is on the first floor in the little mansion, definitely more then 100 yo. with high ceiling, consisted of 3 apartments. The house and the room face directly to the Portobello beach; it is very nice sea view. In the room is foldable sofa, suitable for one big or two average persons. There is flat TV, desk, coffee table and shelfs. The hot water is produced instantly by a gas heater, that was very convenient. I cannot emphasize enough how good is this place, especially if you are vegetarian, vegan or follower of any religion that involves flesh-free food and you don't expect spacious personal space. Remember, it is the "Little place", but still great!! And the price is very competitive. The hostess is vegan and her kitchen is free from meet, fish and eggs; but Julia is not that kind of a "fanatical" vegans which usually scare people off. She is spiritual, lovely, energetic and full of ideas how to make the life better person. I definitely will come back and stay there again.

Traditional second floor Victorian tenement flat in Portobello, Edinburgh's seaside - five minutes walk from a sandy, family-friendly beach. There are some really nice cafés and pubs nearby and we are only a short bus ride from Edinburgh city centre. The flat is comfortable with lots of light, period features and sanded wooden floors. Has roof top views towards Arthur's Seat.

Accommodation comprises:
- kitchen / dining area with range of appliances (3.2 m x 6m)
- bathroom with bath and shower
- bedroom 1 (2.9m x 2.7m) with double bed
- bedroom 2 (3.9m x 2.5m) with sofa bed

The entire flat is available for guest use. Our own things (with the exception of kitchen equipment, books, cds etc) will be packed away.
We will be away on holiday during our stay so will only be available by phone - we will be able to respond to any questions within 24 hours. We will arrange for someone to welcome you when you arrive.

Portobello is Edinburgh's seaside and and has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. It is a great place for kids and adults alike with many events taking place throughout the year around the promenade, e.g. music events, volleyball tournaments, sailing races, rowing regattas. There are many bars and restaurants both along the promenade and around Portobello High Street.
A short walk around the corner along the Prom is Portobello Leisure Centre with its swimming pool, Turkish Baths and gym.
There is a Sainsbury's Express store around the corner open from 7am-10pm and a Co-op supermarket and Earthy wholefoods store within 10 minutes walk. Traditional butchers and fishmongers on Portobello High Street.
From the nearest bus stop on Portobello High Street, a 3 minute walk away, there is a frequent bus service to the centre of Edinburgh. The 26 bus runs every 10 minutes at peak times and takes 25-30 minutes to reach Princes Street. The 15 bus is less frequent but a bit faster. A day ticket is best at £4 (or £8.50 for a family). A single ticket is £1.60. Tickets are purchased as you board, but drivers do not give change.

We stayed 6 nights at this appartement and it was really wonderful. Good music, enough information about Edingburgh and nice furniture. The Place Portobello, a part of Edinburgh on the seaside, is very pretty and not too touristique so it was nice to meet also local people. The local bar Dalriada is very authentic with seaview. Nick did all he could to help us where we needed him. Altough he was not there, we had a very good conversation about everything. He followed us with interest so we felt really at home in his appartment. The neighbours are also friendly. It is an exellent place to go by bus to Rosslyn chapel or to walk from Gullane to North Berwick …..and so many nice places. We had no car but it was easy to go to Edinburgh with bus 26 that you can take around the corner. Thanks Nick for our wunderful stay! Greetings from Antwerp Annemie and Maddy

Main door Victorian double upper villa at "Edinburgh's seaside", 3.5 miles from centre of town, and 150m from Portobello promenade and beach. Sea and park views. Easy access to central Edinburgh and festival. Great shops, restaurants and bars.

The house was amazing, even better than what we expected!

Everything has been exactly as advertised. We were very comfortable at Sara's house in Portobello. She also gave us a lot of recommendations about Edinburgh and the neighbourhood. All in all a perfct experience.

Teresa y JuanAugust 2016

Had an excellent stay. Sarah provided us with a detailed set of notes with a list of good places to visit locally. The neighbourhood was lovely and a two minute walk to the beach. The apartment is over two floors with an excellent modern kitchen and a great upstairs bathroom with a walk in shower and separate bathtub. The city centre was only a £10 fare by Uber and close enough to walk in under an hour. We also got the bus a couple of times from a stop right outside. Would definitely stay here again.

MichaelAugust 2016

Absolutely beautiful home in a lovely area. As a group of students from London visiting the festival, this place was everything we could've wanted and more. Sarah gave us all the information we needed so we had no need to contact her during our stay, and we unfortunately did not meet her as she was away, but I have no doubt she would have been very friendly and helpful if we'd needed to contact her. The house was gorgeous and exactly as in photos, although the ceilings are even higher than I expected giving the house a gorgeous, spacious feel. Very easy to get into central Edinburgh as the bus stop was directly outside the house and the buses ran throughout the night. Portobello is a great area with easy access to the beach and many lovely cafes and restaurants. Couldn't recommend it highly enough, will be telling my friends. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was very nice. Great location, just a short walk to the beach and the bus stop right out front gets you to all the sites in 15 minutes. Sarah left a lot of instructions and information on the local area. I would definitely go back.

On arrivals we were welcome by paul, who kindly provided drinks , tea and coffee on arrival. Most definitely will be returning in the future. Thank you

EmilieMay 2016

We booked for 3 nights in Edinburgh and enjoyed our visit thanks to Paul. The apartment was spotless and Paul went out of his way to provide extras he didn't have to. The apartment was fully furnished to a high standard with everything in working order. Would most certainly recommend this place as it was home from home. Added bonus was the the nearby beach and a short bus ride to city centre. saving time and parking charges.

EdwinSeptember 2016

We booked 4 nights at Paul's flats. There is on-street parking just outside or on the main high street. Paul greeted us on arrival and showed us around. The flat is very well kept, clean and in a great location. There are 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with bunk beds. The living area is spacious, with a dining area, television and comfortable seating. Kitchen facilities are very good and include a fridge, freezer, dish washer, cooker and microwave. Paul was kind enough to stock the fridge with butter, milk, bread, beer and a bottle of wine! Jam, cereals, tea and coffee were also provided. The flat is very pleasant and just a 2 minute walk from the beach. It is modern, nicely decorated and very well kept. I can highly recommend it!

PaulJune 2016

If everyone on AirBnB were like Paul and Pauline it would be wonderful! The most welcoming and accommodating hosts that I have the privelage to encounter, on AirBnB! Nothing was a bother at any stage in my stay. The apartment is beautifully decorated as shown in the photos and is exactly as you see it, very clean and comfortable. As I was on buisiness I didn't have too much time to explore Portabello. It is small village on the outskirts if edinburgh with very easy access to the city! The apartment is on the main street so very easy to catch buses in any direction. I would highly recommend this apartment either for buisiness or a leisure stay.

AJuly 2016

Thank you Paul for making this trip memorable. We really loved your hospitality and thoughtfulness in setting up our stay. Core reasons why we chose this dwelling were Proximity to promenade Access to public transport And positive reviews And they were as described;-) ***** from us

SAugust 2016

Excellent stay at this apartment. Paul was really easy and prompt to communicate with. Apartment was really clean and well furnished, warm cosy and comfortable, bathroom and kitchen really well fitted and spotlessly clean. Met all our needs over 3 nights. Very good value for money, really reasonably priced. Many thanks Paul, we would love to use your apartment again in the future.

Paul was an excellent host, the flat was exactly as it looked in the photos, was very clean, and he'd thought of all the little extras that made the stay great. Portobello is lovely and I would strongly recommend a visit.

Large double room with private bathroom in Georgian house - sofa bed for a third person. We are opposite a lovely park and the long, sandy beach is at the end of the street. Walled garden for chilling out. Edinburgh city centre is 20 mins by bus.

Our house is bright and comfortable. We hope guests will relax here after busy days seeing all Edinburgh has to offer.
Guests will have their own toilet and shower room.
We are happy to provide breakfast but please note that the kitchen is not available for other meals.
Guests will have their own key to the house.
We are available to offer help and advice throughout your stay.

Portobello is a vibrant Edinburgh neighbourhood with specialist shops, restaurants, coffee shops and bars. The long, sandy beach is glorious! There are several parks.
There is a frequent bus service which will take you to the city centre in 20 minutes. Walking around Edinburgh is easy.
There is plenty of space for parking on our drive or on the street.

Sandra and Stewart were perfect hosts. Very helpful and nice. Their house is very cozy and nice furnished and decorated. Portobello is perfect if you want to visit Edinburg. The bus station is 2 min walk from their house and the bus brings you for 1,5 GBP within 20 min to Edinburgh centre. Our stay was perfect and we thank Sandra and Stewart for the nice and warm reception!

LukasSeptember 2015

Sandra and her family were very nice during our stay. The room and the bathroom were clear and tidy. Her house is very close to a nice beach and we enjoyed a lot Endirburgh.

RafaelJanuary 2016

We only stayed at Sandra's place for two nights, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time. Her place is right next to the ocean, where there are some excellent views and restaurants, and it's really easy to catch the 26 bus into town. Sandra and her husband are both very nice people and made us feel very warm and welcome in their home. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit Edinburgh.

LindseyJune 2016

Sandra and Stuart are kind and nice hosts. Their place is clean, quite and the breakfast is also well prepared. Good location to Edinburgh castle and downtown by bus. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map informes you it's James street (so I got lost at night) but it is wrong. It's 'Johns street'. Beautiful sea is just around the corner. Its a pity that we had to stay just a short time. Thanks to Sandra and Stuart!

KoeunAugust 2016

We had a lovely time - Sandra was a great host who was really informative. She was very easy going and welcoming and also did a great malt fruit bread for breakfast. The room was a good size even with three of us with quite a bit of stuff. The house was lovely overall. The room also had some leaflets about current events going on in Edinburgh which was helpful. The location was fantastic for a stroll along the beach, even if it was beyond bracing one afternoon, and an easy bus ride into town. There was plenty of parking outside the house. I would highly recommend a stay at Sandra's - you won't be disappointed.

KathApril 2016

Sandra and Stuart are really nice,hospitable and easy to get along with. The room is clean and comfotable. The house is close to the seaside and is great to walk along the beach. The location is convinient to the city center. Wonderful breakfast. Really recommend to live.

JieAugust 2016

The sea is just at the end of the street, we can walk through and it is marvelous. Edimburg city center is just 20 minutes by bus, the bus stop across the street. Sandra and her husband were very nice to us, we had great discussions, exchanging about our countries, trips and visits. They were very helpfull: waiting for us at night when our flight was (very) late, giving us a drive to reach the car rental... The house is so beautifull, big Gregorian house, the room was very clean, the wide bathroom for our use just next to the bedroom, and the place very quiet. We felt both autonomous and supported in case we would need something. We really enjoyed our stay!

CelineJanuary 2016

Zac and myself had an amazing time in Edinburgh and staying with Sandra and family was definitely a great choice! The location is awesome with the beautiful beach just a short walk away, a nice bar Espy good for lunch/dinner, and it is really near the city and all other popular tourist spots (20mins bus ride)! The house is beautiful! Room was big and cosy and we had 2 great night's sleep. Breakfast was soooo good and amazing to kickstart the day! Thank you Sandra and hubby once again for being such awesome hosts! We'll definitely choose to stay here again if we come back to Edinburgh!

My Edinburgh apartment is the upper floor of an old Georgian house 3 miles from Edinburgh's city centre, in the vibrant seaside community of Portobello. The views from the windows of my place over the sea are pretty stunning and I love having the beach on my doorstep. One of the great things about the place is being so close to the buzz and excitement of Edinburgh city centre - a cab takes you there in 15 minutes - and yet having the peace and beauty of the place to escape to here.

The rooms in my place all have stunning sea views. There's a woodburning stove in each of the two living areas for when the days are chilly and there's a lovely beach for walking along whatever the weather. There is central heating throughout the house in addition to the log-burning stoves. The large bathroom has both bath and separate shower. The well-equipped kitchen has a good-sized fridge/freezer, washing machine, micro-wave and a full range of necessary ancillaries. There are bookshelves dotted around the house which hold my collection of books - please feel free to read whatever takes your fancy, putting it back when finished. There is stereo equipment in 2 rooms, which will work from a plug-in mp3 player/i-pod. There is a garden to the front of the house with table and chairs to sit out and enjoy the sun - not guaranteed in Scotland of course! I've listed the house as sleeping 4. There is an additional small bedroom off the large bedroom with a single bed which would make sleeping 5 possible, though only if those sleeping in the large bedroom don't mind someone passing through their room. The large bedroom doubles as a lounge, with a comfortable double bed settee. It is the room with the TV. The living room also has a TV, but not with a cable connection, just an aerial for freeview.
All of the house is available to guests. In addition there is garden to the front that enjoys seated privacy to take in the sea air. There is free parking in the street
No, won't be there personally, sorry - but my good friend and agent Paula will make guests welcome.

Loads of creative people have chosen to live in Portobello nowadays. There's lots going on and a good cafe culture along the Promenade. The Dalriada is a fine old pub that hosts live folk/world music 4 nights a week. There is a small art gallery at one end of the prom and fine food venues dotted around the place.
The house is right next to the beach, but only 150 metres from the main road where a regular bus service will get you into town (Edinburgh city centre) in around 20 minutes.
The house is well equipped with bed linen, towels etc, the usual washing machine, kitchen stuff and so on. There is TV, 2 music systems and my wifi connection is available and included.

The location and views over the beach from Erics flat are fantastic. Was lovely waking up to the sound of the waves. Eric was very helpful and the flat had everything we needed. Would recommend it to anyone staying in Edinburgh.

SarahNovember 2015

The house was just wonderful, very tasty place in a wonderful neighborhood! Even though we couldn't meet in person, Eric was really helpful and kind to us.

This is an A+++ for Airbnb in Edinburgh. Thank you Eric for warm welcome, and a bottle of wine. Very large apartment with magnificent sea view in every rooms, all everything you want. For someone that look for a real vacation, don't want to stay in busy city (but just 15 mins to city center). Highly recommended!!!

Eric's flat in Portobello made the perfect landing place for me in Edinburgh. The flat is cozy and homey with views of the beach from every room. Eric, the person, is awesome and friendly and helpful. He knows the area, and Scotland, extremely well. I love Eric's flat. I was sad to leave the flat, Portobello, and the friendly faces I'd come to know. I hope to stay there again.

JuliaOctober 2015

My husband and I rented Eric's place in Portobello for two weeks in August. We couldn't believe our luck finding such a great place with beautiful views overlooking Portobello beach and able to breath in fresh air everyday!! Eric was great.....though we never met him in person he was very helpful and available through email. He also had two wonderful people in Portobello (Paula and Zannah) who were very friendly and had lots of great advice about local places to visit etc. The location is fantastic with amazing views (did I mention the views) over the beach and a beautiful promenade to walk along. If you want access to the city there is a bus just at the top of the street that takes you to centre of Edinburgh in 20 minutes. That said......once you land at Eric's place I can't imagine you would even bother!!! Lots of lovely places to eat along the promenade and a few great pubs as well. Thanks Eric for sharing your place with us! We will definitely be back. Tish and Nigel

PatriciaAugust 2015

I reallt enjoyed the location and facilities of the property as it had good lication and good bathroom kitchen and living area. The description of the property was accurate but there were some issues that I was concerned with. The property needs some very basic decorating as the main entrance stairwell and generl areas were extremely poor and off putting! With a little money spent on it it could be a first class property. I considered it expensive in view of ths and would recommend improvements as listed

A nice traditional house with wonderful hosts : Karin and her mother were very nice, kindly and handsome. They took care of us with a fantastic breakfast everyday. We enjoyed our stay near Portobello Beach, at only 15 minutes from the city centre by bus. The room for 4 was perfect for the three of us, very small private bathroom.

Karin and her mother were amazing hosts! The B&B has been running for over 50 years. They really made our trip in Edinburgh comfortable and easy! They spoilt us for breakfast and Karin on arriving updated our accommodation at no extra cost. The room was spacious and the shower hot. She lives a few minutes away from the city centre.

Great location, right on the beach, we were met by Joe who couldn't have been nicer, really welcoming and showed us all the ropes. It's a great little flat and just perfect for our night away with two young girls (5 and 6 years old). Not that easy to find but to be fair (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps wasn't behaving!!

SamJune 2016

This flat was ideal for our overnight stay in Edinburgh during the festival... it was nice to have somewhere away from the busy crowds at this time of the year. The flat was clean and well equipped. Cosy as stated in the description but suited four adults fine for a short stay.

DanielleAugust 2016

Thanks Samantha! Perfect for our quick stop-off on the way back from The Highlands. A quick afternoon in the sun on the beach and then a burger in The Espy for dinner, both of which are seconds from the flat!

OssieAugust 2016

This flat is fairly described as "cosy", but it is well organised and has everything you could reasonably need. We were a family of 4 plus dog and were very comfortable. The beds are comfy, there is a shower and bath and the telly and wifi are good. The location was great, literally yards from the lovely beach, but still quiet. We were visiting friends in Portobello, but I think this would make a good base for exploring Edinburgh in any case - it was easy enough to get in and out of the centre and really nice to get out of the craziness of the festival and back to the beach. Samantha was a very helpful and accommodating host.

JamieAugust 2016

Lovely night in the apartment, has everything you would need. Gorgeous on the beach front also. Hosts were great, and respond to messages quick!

suzanneAugust 2016

Samantha was really welcoming - friendly communication beforehand and was there to meet us on arrival. The flat was the perfect place to spend a few days with our two little boys - it's almost literally on the beach front, but only a short bus trip into town too. There are some lovely places to eat right next door and the flat had everything we needed for the stay - comfy beds, kitchen, WiFi, TV, bath. It's the perfect retreat from the slightly hectic city centre at festival time!

HannahAugust 2016

Our drive to Edinbrugh from the East Midlands was much longer than expected and Sam and Joe were very helpful when we arrived late at night. They were also available to recieve and return a volleyball net for us which was very helpful. I have pet allergies and the extra cleaning helped a lot. Also, the location was perfect! We will be sure to book again next time the Deep Dish Beach Volleyball Tournament comes to Edinburgh. Thank you for everything, we had a great weekend. :)

This flat was perfect, clean and cozy. Portobello was a cool area with a couple of good pubs. It also had a co-op close by for groceries etc. It was easy to get into the city centre either by bus or cab. Anita was very friendly and great at letting us know where everything was in proximity to the flat, which buses to take, and where to eat nearby. I would definitely stay here again!

We had such a nice stay in Anita's flat, the location was great, near the beautiful beach of Portobello. We didn't meet but she was really helpful and gave us clear instructions. We would absolutely recommand her place !

This is a lovely flat right by the beach. Bus stop is round the corner and only takes 20 mins to get into the heart of the city. Anita had left shortbread and milk for us which was a lovely touch and just what we needed after 7 hours in the car. The bed was comfy and there were plenty of towels available. All in all, a great little place to stay if you don't want to shell out to stay right in the city.

We came to Edinburgh for a friends wedding. The apartment was perfect for our stay, the beds were so comfortable! however the kitchen wasn't very clean. Anita was very easily reached and left perfect instructions as well as a lovely box of shortbread. Great transport links and there are some really useful shops in the area. Great pub near by called the foresters. I would recommend and also stay again

KatieJune 2014

We were very happy about our stay in Edinburgh. The apartment (AKA flat) was more than adequate and the price is right. It's very well located in a beautiful neighborhood. We found the street easily with our GPS but the door number is not obvious. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Street View is useless. Anita made everything clear in an email. Don't be mislead by the dilapidated building; the apartment itself is in excellent shape. Anita left cakes and milk for us. We had all the towels and bed sheets we needed. The wifi was fast. The apartment has a great view to the sea! Binoculars will let you see the ships passing by. The balcony is a good place to relax. The living room is spacious. The washing machine works, except for the drying cycle. Use the cloth line or the cloth rack to dry your clothes. Our clothes took a very long time to dry. That was not a big problem for us. There are 2 rooms, one with a double bed and the other with two twin beds. This is Europe and not North America; don't expect large sizes, including mattresses. However we rested very well there. There's no shower curtain; only a glass panel. So you have to be extra careful not to wet the floor. The kitchen is well furnished. There are several food markets in the neighborhood. The beach is a 4 minute walk from the apartment. Don't expect the sea to be hot; this is the North Sea. We saw beautiful sunsets and a sunrise. The apartment is in the East end; driving downtown takes about 15 minutes. Parking is very sparse but we did manage to find space every time. We were lucky. :) If you walk West on the beach for 20 lazy minutes, you will find a bar (looks like a big house) with daily live music and good beer. The door is not easy to understand. There's a lock for the key which operates by entering the code and then pushing DOWN the button at the top. If you enter the wrong code, push down the button at the bottom to reset it. To lock the door, you have to LIFT the door handle and then turn the key. Make sure the key is inserted all the way in, otherwise it won't turn. The decorative key case can slide and get in the way. Anita was sending us texts and emails to answer our questions. In summary; this is a good deal for a nice apartment.

Anita was easy to communicate with and helpful with any needs we had.Just note, second bedroom is small and shares window with adjacent bedroom. Therefore more suitable for a family or group of friends traveling together.
